Meet Julie

Have you ever met that girl who lives life with energy, passion, and has a contagious spirit?

Hello! I’m Julie Pearson, a faith-based speaker and founder of Gap Gals Ministry. I am just an ordinary gal who loves to walk alongside women like you and do life together, but I have an extraordinary vision. I am a natural born cheerleader and when life gets sticky and messy, I enjoy encouraging women to hang in there and never give up. I guess that’s why I love movies like Karate Kid that illustrate a drive to fight through hardship and reach triumph over defeat. There is always Hope through Hardship!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I wish we were at the local coffee shop so I could get to know you personally (I am a coffee addict!). I would to love to hear about your life, your family, your passions, dreams, and pursuits. Since that is most likely not possible at this moment, I will share a little about myself.

I grew up in the sunny state of California. I married in 1995 to my perfect match, Cannon Pearson. I am deeply in love with my husband and he is my biggest cheerleader. We met country dancing back in the early 90’s when country music was starting to be cool. We have three beautiful children who often cause me to pause and count my blessings. Children are the biggest blessings in life! I am an avid learner, I love to read leadership books, study the word of God, and I have recently found a new sport in tennis. Oh yeah, I love the beach too (actually any body of water)!

God has put a passion for ministry in my heart since childhood. I was that high school student who invited the entire neighborhood of kids to youth group. I wanted my friends to experience the fun and thrill of knowing Jesus in their life. It’s no coincidence God led me to work in various capacities of ministry: Young Life, MOPS, church leadership, and starting my own ministry in 2011. A vision was planted in my heart in 2009 to unite women from the local community to be fueled and transformed in faith so they could sincerely make a difference in the lives of other women. Taking a leap of faith, I started Gap Gals Ministry.

What I didn’t realize as I was busy organizing and planning ministry, God also put a desire in my heart to be a voice for women. He was calling me to speak, but for many years, I ignored this calling. Perhaps it was my own insecurity and fear of failure that caused me to avoid this calling. Just as I took a leap of faith starting a ministry, I am now taking a leap of faith to speak a message near and dear to my heart. God has restored (and still restoring) many broken pieces in my life, and I fully desire women to Be Restored, so she can Live Revived.

I invite you to cruise through my website and get to know me like I would love to get to know you. Check out my blogs, speaking messages/samples, and ministry. If my speaking topics resonate with you, I would love the opportunity to speak to your audience of women or have you pass my name along to an event planner.

Thank you for stopping by. I pray God is doing a great work in your life so you can Be Restored and live Revived!
